KSP Trooper Assaulted
KENTUCKY...
What was meant to be a simple interview with a Banner man, turned out to be a shoving incident involving a KSP Trooper and the man. Now, he is facing several charges after police arrested him following what was first intended to be a routine interview concerning a recent burglary. Eric Akers, 38, of Banner, was arrested Monday when Kentucky State Police Trooper Cassandra Mullins said she stopped at his residence to interview him about a burglary that took place in Allen earlier that day. Mullins said she visited Akers’ Orchard Branch home to talk to him about the burglary and the 38-year-old became “belligerent” and shoved her away. Mullins said she then ordered Akers to get on the ground, but he did not take her warning and, instead, came at her again, allegedly attempting to hit her again but only knocking off her hat. There have been no further reports linking Akers to the burglary Mullins was investigating at the time of the alleged incident.
